Timmy doesn't like hiccoughs. You can probably tell from the face he is making. :) But he makes several different faces over the course of just a minute or two.
Looking bored:
Almost smiling to see daddy nearby. (But not too close as I have a sore throat)
To normal Timmy face - and arms moving all over.
Timmy's few good nights of sleep have faded into the old normal of waking several times through the night and being fussy. Hopefully, we'll figure out why soon and be able to make an adjustment somewhere to help us all get some rest. In the mean time, we are incredibly blessed that he continues to do well for the most part and that he is still growing.
There are a few of us that are sick in the house, so he may be fighting something like some of us are. A fever or two, some sore throats, some runny noses and congestion. I guess the up and down of the weather isn't helping us out any, but we have had a supremely healthy winter so far, and are grateful that we have missed so much of what has gone around. We're just praying things will pass quickly and Timmy doesn't get something that he has to fight. The extra energy he has from being healthy right now is what is enabling him to grow. Every extra fight a CHD (Congenital Heart Disease) patient has to deal with just throws everything else off (digestion, breathing, oxygen levels, ...).
Sometimes, it still feels like we are living under the cloud we came home under. But slowly, that cloud seems to be moving off on the horizon. It is a slow process to go from "Your son will probably just live a few months," to the relative health he is enjoying now which says he may have years or decades before him. Only God knows, but we are glad to be in the circumstances we now find ourselves in.
